1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

significanceThis is the first study to validate the repeatability of objective measurements of amplitude of accommodation (AA) using the TONOREF III (NIDEK Co., Ltd., Japan), which can measure the AA in 30 seconds. PURPOSE: To evaluate the repeatability of objective measurements of AA using the TONOREF III and explored the association between objectively measured AA and factors, including age, sex, spherical equivalent, baseline pupil size and pupil size change during accommodation.

methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 35 healthy subjects aged 26 to 52 years. The Bland-Altman method and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to assess the repeatability of TONOREF III measurements. The relationships between AA and age, sex, baseline pupil size, changes in pupil size (ΔPS) during accommodation were analyzed using linear regression for univariate and multivariate analysis.

resultsThe mean difference in AA (ΔAA) between two sessions of TONOREF III measurements was 0.23 D (95% CI: -1.07 to +1.53 D), while no significant correlation was found between the mean and ΔAA (p = .14). The ICCs of the TONOREF III was 0.96. Age, sex, and ΔPS during accommodation were significant factors affecting the AA in multivariate analysis.

conclusionsThe repeatability of objective AA measurements using the TONOREF III was good. Measuring AA using the TONOREFTM III in clinical practice is feasible.
